He is Augustin, Linda Evangelista’s son with Francois-Henri Pinault, who helps raise Salma Hayek as if she were his own mother, even as the model underwent a double breast cancer diagnosis.

We know that the love story of Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault includes the businessman’s three children and of course their daughter Valentina Paloma who was born in 2007. The youngest of the Pinault clan was born eleven months after brother Augustin, son of Linda Evangelista.

The teenager, who will turn 17 in October next year, was the fruit of a short-lived romance between Francois-Henri Pinault and the Canadian model, at a time when the president of the Kering group was going through a breakup with the actress.

Who is Augustin, son of Francois-Henri Pinault and Linda Evangelista?

His full name is Augustin James Evangelista Pinault, but affectionately calls him Augieand was born on October 11, 2006, reports Who magazine, where he is also described as a serious and somewhat shy teenager, or so the media noted when he accompanied his mother to the Fendi parade at New York Fashion Week in September 2022.

The young man is still discreet and without social networks, although thanks to the information handled by the international press and some publications by Salma Hayek, we know about the good relationship the actress maintains with her daughter’s half-brother, as well as her husband’s two other older children.

The Canadian model boasted about it on her social networks, and for her 16th birthday, she shared a carousel of photos of her first-born child, which clearly showed the great similarity between mother and son.

We also know that there is no rivalry between the main character of “Frida” and Lida Evangelista, and the best example of this is the gesture the actress had on Thanksgiving Day, the date when the model was not feeling well, and Salma ended up cooking for her, as the Canadian recalled in an interview with Vogue which was then quoted by Vanitatis from El Confidential.

Far from being at loggerheads between them, Salma Hayek’s move signifies the good relationship she maintains with Augie’s mother, who has also gone through dark times in her life related to health issues that have plagued her in the past.

What disease brought Linda Evangelista to the brink of death?

The 58-year-old model was absent from the catwalks for a long time until her triumphant return in 2022. But before this episode, she went through difficult times, first due to the consequences of a cosmetic treatment a few years ago that made her “unrecognizable”.

Then because of the double diagnosis of breast cancer that she kept secret and which she recently revealed to The Wall Street Journal.

“I didn’t intend to die from this,” he told American media, referring to the disease, whose first tumor was discovered in 2018 and for which he underwent a bilateral mastectomy.

“I wanted to think that I would be fine, ready for life. “Breast cancer wasn’t going to kill me,” he mentioned; although the prognosis was not encouraging when in July 2022 the cancer returned and he underwent yet another surgery.

Despite the prognosis and an uncertain future, today she feels grateful to be alive and will therefore share her entire legacy in a book she is preparing with photographer Steven Meisel. The text is called “Linda Evangelista photographed by Steven Meisel” and will be on sale on September 13, El Tiempo reports.

“I know I have one foot in the grave, but I am totally celebrating. I went through terrible health problems and I’m very happy to celebrate my book, to celebrate my life. “I’m very happy to be alive and everything that comes now is a bonus,” she told the WSJ. (AND)
